About Me

My photo
Lucky to be blessed with a wonderful husband, 3 adorable sons, and a fabulous family and friends. I like to dance, and sing and have fun with my kiddos. We have a wonderful life... full of joy, laughter and cuddles. Lots and lots of cuddles. My "me" thing in my life is my camera. When I'm not tending to my crazy handfuls of boys... my mind wanders into photographic scenes not yet captured and how I'm going to pull off the latest idea brewing in my mind. I try to make it fun for everyone, and to create wonderful images for us all to remember this happy time in our lives by.

Theme - Music

Saturday;

I've no idea what this instrument is called, but it was pretty cool as I"ve never seen one before. I found a man at the markets playing it and asked if I could take a pic.


Friday;

Me and Wills dancing to Abba (the Mumma Mia soundtrack) he's going to be soooo embarassed when he is older that he knows all the words : ) This was soooo much fun though, I used the self timer, Will thought it was a cack!


Thursday;

Baby's musical mobile.... I couldn't decide so I posted both. Grr, I need to do something about these colours and my ps settings. Soon.....



Wednesday;
CD player. Spin, spin spin.... makes me dizzy just looking at it.

Tuesday;

Archive Alert... Taken with my 450 and pretty much straight out of camera. I don't love the photo but love the memory of that day. He was soooo sweet singing and playing instruments along with a country singer. I'm glad I had my camera with me that day, not a great pic but I love it anyway.


Monday;

The great Aussie tradition of leaf blowing.....can you tell I don't get out much at the moment?

Sunday;

Here's my musical instrument cuboard! Well... so my kiddies think anyway. :)

Theme - Fill the Frame

Saturday;

Ok, deviating from the theme here.... but I just had to share this out-take from my xmas card pic attempt with master Archie. I promise he's totally fine, he's just worked out the benefits of tantrums and makes them as dramatic as possible. I got some beauties after this by singing the wiggles.... he's in love with the wiggles.


Friday;

I'd happily fill my camera frame with my beautiful little 5 week old bubba any day :)



Thursday;

I love this cradle and the little dude inside. Having a go here at trying to see the baby in the bed with a different perspective.


Wednesday;

My five year old.... I just adore those eyes!!!



Tuesday;

Nanny and baby cuddles. Awwww. My mother in law has been here visiting with us and helping me out with the kiddies for a while. It's been awesome to have someone else to cuddle the bubby as he's been a bit unsettled :(

I'm Baaaccckkk!!!

After a few days of uncertainty... I'm back and all my pics have been recovered!!! Now I just need to recalibrate, sooo my pics might be a bit off for a while. Ah well, I'm still going to play!
